Good morning, fellow Publish0xers :)
Here are some recent crypto-news via CoinTelegraph.
Bitcoin's Whitepaper has been found hidden in Apple's modern macOS operating system. Twitter user "0xSato" stumbled upon the Whitepaper in macOS Monterey while looking through the system's default background wallpapers. The user found a QR code hidden in one of the wallpaper's color gradients, which, when scanned, led to a PDF file of Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper. It's unclear if the inclusion of the Whitepaper in the macOS system is intentional or an unintentional Easter egg by Apple developers.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has canceled Binance Australia's license to offer derivatives products. The regulator cited multiple reasons for the cancelation, including Binance's failure to meet regulatory requirements and not having a sufficiently trained workforce. Binance Australia has been given 21 days to stop onboarding new clients for derivative products and 90 days to wind up its existing business activities. Binance has faced regulatory issues in multiple jurisdictions and is working to become fully compliant.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has changed his Twitter profile picture to a Dogecoin-themed image after filing a motion to dismiss a lawsuit against him. Musk has been a vocal supporter of Dogecoin, and his tweets have influenced the cryptocurrency's price. The lawsuit alleges that Musk manipulated Dogecoin's price through his tweets. Musk's legal team argues that the First Amendment protects his tweets and that the plaintiffs have not provided evidence of actual damages.
Bitcoin's price has dipped to around $28,000 as better-than-expected US jobs data has increased expectations of a faster Federal Reserve rate hike. The strong jobs report has led investors to bet on a potential interest rate hike as early as March, which could put further downward pressure on Bitcoin and other risk assets. The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing volatility, with Bitcoin's price struggling to find support above $30,000.
Robinhood, a popular stock and cryptocurrency trading platform, has reached a $10 million settlement with the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) over allegations of failing investors. The settlement resolves a multistate investigation into Robinhood's business practices, allegedly exposing millions of customers to unnecessary trading risks. As part of the settlement, Robinhood neither admits nor denies the allegations but has agreed to change its business practices.
OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research organization, is facing a privacy probe by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. The investigation is centered on allegations that OpenAI's GPT-3 language model has been used to harvest personal information from Canadians without their consent. OpenAI has stated that it takes privacy concerns seriously and cooperates with the investigation. The probe's outcome could have significant implications for using AI and handling personal data in the technology sector.
